Virtual appointments available in May
Mohawk Valley Community College will host a series of virtual appointments this May to help local adults learn how they may qualify for a tuition-free college degree through SUNY Reconnect, a state-funded initiative designed to expand opportunities for adult learners in high-demand careers.
Through SUNY Reconnect, adults ages 25 to 55 who have not yet earned a college degree can attend MVCC tuition-free when they enroll in career-driven associate degree programs across a variety of growing industries. Programs were selected by the governor’s office based on workforce demand across New York State. See eligible MVCC programs.
